The Strength of the Man
No matter how the cake gets cut in June, one has to admit that Barack Obama is one heck of a strong man.
No need to go into the details of his uphill struggle to compete against and whip Hillary but when you stop to think of it, Barack Obama single handedly beats four contenders in one sweep.
He beats McCain everytime but he has to compete against Chelsea Clinton, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton everyday and he has been winning. Hillary gets three times as many messages dispursed everyday. Obama distributes his message by himself. I agree that sometimes he gets some help but for the most part he flies "alone".
What more can the American people want in a man? Can you really ask for more strength than this?

Yes. I ask that he defend himself and the DNC rules more passionately.
Here's what's happened today:
Howard Dean is asking that either candidate drop out by the end of June. He's now pushing electability, not delegate count.
Howard Wolfson took the time to actually appear on MSNBC as opposed to calling in, and pushed the FL and MI issue harder than he ever has. His focus is on the popular vote. Says it doesn't matter if Obama wasn't even on the ballot in MI. Doesn't acknowledge that Hillary broke her agreement to exclude delegates from that state.
The entire media is pushing the Clinton narrative.
And what do I hear from Obama? Indiana's the tie-breaker.
Silence on everything else.
Now I understand that he doesn't want to push himself as inevitable, or that he won the race already. But "Indiana's the tie breaker"?
Have you browsed through any local NC or Indiana papers lately? It's as if they're written by the Clintons.
So I ask that Obama recognize that running for President is more than math.
As he fights for every vote locally, the Clintons fight harder to change the way this election is decided.
Obama has never been this silent. The Obama campaign has gone missing from this electability fight.
Can he ride this out with the same strategy he rode in on?
Almost everyone says, "hey, he's winning with this strategy, let him do his thing."
But these races are organic, and they change day to day. I applauded Obama's courage to address the Wright matter head on, and deliver that speech on race.
Speaking out was a perfect example of rising above a controversial dialogue.
There's a difference between that and silence.

REAL MANLY MAN'S MAN OF MANLY PROPORTIONS!
All the sexually suggestive talk is just distracting us from his poll. Is it rising or is it just going limp? Should we take a closer look? How do we massage the poll so it represents the results we eagerly anticipate receiving?
Sincerely
